14.5.5. | if the German Sale Agreement is terminated or rescinded. |
14.6. | The Sellers will be entitled to exercise the above rescission right by jointly delivering a rescission notice to the Purchaser until the date falling 5 (five) Business Days after the Closing Date (inclusive).

14.8. | Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 14 and solely to the extent closing under the German Sale Agreement has not occurred, if the applicable Conditions are not satisfied due to a default by the Sellers or the Purchaser hereunder, then each party shall be entitled to exercise their respective remedies, including pursuant to Section 3.7 of the German Sale Agreement. Following the closing under the German Sale Agreement, in the event the Closing and the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein do not occur as provided herein (time being of the essence) by reason of any material default of the Purchaser hereunder (a “Purchaser Default”), the Purchaser and the Sellers agree it would be impractical and extremely difficult to fix the damages which Seller may suffer. The Purchaser and the Sellers hereby agree that, in the event of a Purchaser Default, (i) an amount equal to the Deposit (the “Purchaser Default Amount”) is a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment the Sellers would suffer in the event |
of any such default and failure by the Purchaser to complete the purchase of the Enterprises, and (ii) provided that no Seller is in material default hereunder, the Purchaser Default Amount shall be paid to the Sellers and will be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for the default and failure of the Purchaser to complete the purchase of the Enterprises, and will be the Sellers' sole and exclusive remedy (whether at law or in equity) for any such default of the Purchaser resulting in the failure of consummation of the Closing hereunder, whereupon this Agreement will terminate, and the Sellers and the Purchaser will have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except with respect to obligations which expressly survive termination hereunder; provided, that, in the event the Purchaser Default Amount is paid other than directly from the Deposit, the Purchaser shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit and the Sellers shall promptly at the request of the Purchaser deliver written notice to the Escrow Agent to effect such refund. The Purchaser hereby waives and releases any right to (and hereby covenant that they shall not) sue the Sellers or seek or claim a refund of the Purchaser Default Amount on the grounds it is unreasonable in amount and exceeds the actual damages of the Sellers.
14.9. | Except as expressly provided herein, the Deposit and payment and release thereof shall be governed by the applicable provisions of the German Sale Agreement. |
14.10. | Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 14 will limit the Purchaser’s or the Sellers’ remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in the event of a breach by other Party of any of its obligations hereunder which expressly survive Closing or under any of the Final Agreements, subject to the terms and provisions of this Agreement. The Sellers and the Purchaser each waive any right to sue the other for any consequential or punitive damages for matters arising under this Agreement (it being understood that the Sellers and the Purchaser each have waived the right to obtain incidental, special, exemplary or consequential damages in connection with any default of the Purchaser or the Sellers respectively, or otherwise. |
14.11. | Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 14, (i) a default by Sellers under this Agreement shall constitute a default by the German Sellers under the German Sale Agreement; (ii) a default by the German Sellers under the German Sale Agreement shall constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement; (iii) a default by the Purchaser under this Agreement shall constitute a default by German Purchasers under the German Sale Agreement; (iv) a default by German Purchasers under the German Sale Agreement shall constitute a default by the Purchaser under this Agreement; and (v) the non-defaulting party to this Agreement or the German Sale Agreement shall exercise the same remedies under both this Agreement and the German Sale Agreement. By way of clarification of clause (v) above, if the Sellers or the German Sellers are the defaulting parties, the Purchaser and the German Purchasers must enforce the same remedies under both this Agreement and the German Sale Agreement (i.e., the Purchaser and the German Purchasers must either both elect to terminate this Agreement and the German Sale Agreement, or exercise specific performance under both this Agreement and the German Sale Agreement, and if specific performance is not available under either this Agreement or the German Sale Agreement, then the Purchaser and the German Purchasers may only exercise its right to terminate both this Agreement and the German Sale Agreement). This Section 14.11 shall be null and void and shall not apply to any Party from and after the closing under the German Sale Agreement. |
15. | MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE |
15.1. | If, prior to the Closing Date, any of the Properties is destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty or a Significant Action occurs, the relevant Seller will promptly give the Purchaser notice thereof. |
15.2. | Where a Material Adverse Change occurs, the Purchaser will have the option to terminate this Agreement as to the related Enterprise and its relevant Seller upon notice to the relevant Seller given not later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of such Seller’s notice delivered pursuant to |
Section 15.1. In the event of the termination of this Agreement with respect to an Enterprise, the Price shall be reduced by the Allocated Enterprise Value applicable to such Enterprise.
15.3. | Termination of this Agreement as to an Enterprise and its relevant Seller according to the Section 15.2 or Section 10.4.2 shall not terminate this Agreement as to the remainder of the Enterprises not so terminated pursuant to such sections.

15.4. | If (i) the Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement as to an Enterprise that has suffered a Material Adverse Change or (ii) if the closing under the German Sale Agreement has occurred and a Material Adverse Change occurs thereafter, then the relevant Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction, but (a) at the Closing the relevant Seller shall assign and turn over to the Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of their respective right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such damage or destruction or other casualty (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate the relevant Seller for loss of rental or other income from such Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing), and (b) the Parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Price, except that the relevant Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any amounts expended by the relevant Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at such Property, other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Leases. |
15.5. | If less than a Significant Portion of a Property is damaged as aforesaid, or if all or a Significant Portion of any Enterprise is so destroyed or damaged but such damage does not constitute a Material Adverse Change, then the Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement as to the related Enterprise and the relevant Seller will not be obligated to repair such damage or destruction, but (a) the relevant Seller will assign and turn over to the Purchaser all of the insurance proceeds net of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such damage or destruction or other casualty (excluding any proceeds of insurance that are payable on account of any business interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate the relevant Seller for loss of rental or other income from such Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing), and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Price, except that the relevant Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any amounts expended by the relevant |
Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs or to remedy any unsafe conditions at such Property, other than repairs which are the responsibility of Tenants under Leases.
15.6. | Following the closing under the German Sale Agreement, Section 15.2 and Section 15.3 shall no longer apply to the Transaction and, for the avoidance of doubt, no Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement as to an Enterprise and its relevant Seller or in its entirety, in each case, as the result of one or more Material Adverse Changes. |
